Google Pulls Olympics Ad Amid Criticism of AI Application #

Google has decided to withdraw a controversial Olympics ad following criticism over its use of artificial intelligence (AI). The advertisement featured a father using Google’s Gemini AI chatbot to help his daughter write a fan letter to US Olympic track star Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone. However, many online users expressed concern about replacing a child’s creativity with words generated by a computer. Despite initially defending the ad, Google reversed its decision after receiving feedback. The incident highlights fears that AI technology could potentially replace jobs in creative fields. Apple faced a similar backlash earlier this year with an ad that depicted human creativity being replaced by an iPad Pro.
